Alyssa Holdwick Posted May 23, 2021 Share Posted May 23, 2021 Two days ago, I brought home a tiny albino bristlenose pleco. He/she was and still is constantly roaming the glass. However, this morning I noticed my pleco has little dots everywhere! Do all albino bristlenose look like this? Does my pleco have Ich? My guppies and guppy fry have nothing visibly wrong with them but I worry they may get sick too since it's been two days. Zero nitrite, nitrate, or ammonia as of this morning. 7.8 ph, 100-200ppm GH/KH. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrozenFins Posted May 23, 2021 Share Posted May 23, 2021 (edited) Yep, looks like ich. Do you have a spare tank you can put him in to treat? You'll want to remove him asap to prevent the guppies from getting sick. I would then treat with ich x. Aquariuk coop sells it and so does most big box petstores. Remember if you dont have a spare tank you can also use a see through storage rubbermaid. @Irene shows you how she does this here: Edited May 23, 2021 by James Black 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colu Posted May 24, 2021 Share Posted May 24, 2021 (edited) With the bristlenose being in the same tank as the guppy for a couple of days I would treat them all with ich x as @James Black recommend to be on the safe side Edited May 24, 2021 by Colu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
